Restored things

I love that God restores things. Several years ago I used to lead a Bible study at the local rescue mission with a friend. It was something I really came to enjoy doing each week. I used to have to get there on only four hours' sleep, but I rarely missed a Wednesday morning. That came to an end as things at the mission changed. There were several studies going on, and as time went on, it seemed that we were just confusing people because we were just doing our own thing. I'd expressed my concern to my fellow leader of our Wedensday study a couple of months before it was decided that one person would teach all five days of the week. Other opportunities came from that study though, and it led to me being able to speak at a chapel service once a month until COVID. Sortly after that, I wound up moving to Oregon. As things happen in God's time and in His way, I would make some new connections where I live now and the opportunity arose to lead a Bible study at our local rescue mission here in Oregon. I'm using the same format that I found worked pretty well for me. That's like God. He may take something away, but sometimes that's only for a season. Sometimes the things He takes away are things we've outgrown. Other times, the things we do prepare us for the things we will do in a later season in life. The first time I walked into the Rescue Mission, I was scared to death. Today, though, it just felt comfortable; like it was something I was just supposed to be doing. Today was a good day.
